Abstract

In view of the wide application of radioactive carbon dioxide in tracer experiments together with a reported anomalous effect of the isotope content on the tracer behavior, we have investigated the effect of varying specific activity of the carbon dioxide on both the rate and pattern of photosynthetic carbon fixation. We have found no effect of the carbon-14 other than the ordinary mass effect in both algae and higher plants.
